(Four Newbery Medal Winners) This boxed set gathers four modern classics of children's literature for readers 9 to 12. Lois Lowry's 1990 novel Number the Stars tells how the Danish Resistance smuggled nearly 7,000 Jews out of Denmark during World War II, through the eyes of a girl whose family took in her Jewish best friend. A homeless boy in a 12th-century Korean village is taken as an assistant to a master potter in Linda Sue Park's 2002 winner A Single Shard. Scott O'Dell's widely celebrated 1960 book Island of the Blue Dolphins is the story of a girl growing into womanhood alone on an evacuated Pacific island. And free-spirited teenager Kit Tyler is sent from her Caribbean home to live with her relatives in 17th-century Connecticut and finds herself accused of witchcraft in Elizabeth George Speare's 1959 historical novel The Witch of Blackbird Pond.
